Just amazing and the perfect day!

We wanted a small, no fuss wedding and to find a venue that had great space but also felt intimate for our small party of guests. We love Greenwich, so to find The Oyster Catcher with walking distance from the main attractions in Greenwich, along with the amazing views of London and the Thames we fell in love with it straight away. Laura is an amazing events organiser, she ensures everything is well communicated and food tasting is arranged in advance. The upstairs space in the venue was great for what we wanted, table space for food, but a space for welcome drinks and of course dancing after dinner. If you are looking for a venue that is chilled, great value for money and no stress involved then this is your place. Laura and the team did everything for us on the day with set up and such amazing service, all our guests loved the food and said what amazing staff the venue had! We honestly cant thank you enough for making our day so perfect and hosting our wedding.

Perfect for a unique wedding

Having worked a lot of weddings ourselves we were determined to plan our wedding to be a little bit different. We loved the idea of having something easy and simple, but also that reflected our personalities and The Oystercatcher was the perfect match. The floor-to-ceiling windows, open-plan seating and chic decor made it an ideal setting for our wedding. The view of the city was sensational and the food was utterly sublime. We had a really great experience working with Laura - she made the logistics really easy and never put pressure on us to do something we didn’t feel would fit our wedding. We and our guests were really well looked after by the staff at the Oystercatcher and we loved being able to add our wedding logo on to the top of our welcome cocktails! It felt really special to have the whole venue booked out for our event and in the evening our guests enjoyed the flexibility of being outside watching the view, upstairs enjoying some quiet space, or downstairs dancing with our incredible 7-piece band. We got a bit frustrated by was the minimum spends - make sure you fully understand this before booking to know how it will impact your booking. We also booked under the principle we could have more seated guests than was actually possible which did through a spanner in the works… We’ll be back to visit The Oystercatcher for many date nights, but in the meantime we would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of hosting their wedding there!

"the service on the day was second to none"

We arranged a very small informal lunch at the Oyster Catcher following our friends' wedding, the manager could not have been more helpful in allowing us to decorate the table and placing us in a table with a wonderful view where we could enjoy the afternoon, the service on the day was second to none and I would absolutely recommend the restaurant to anyone thinking of booking it for their wedding celebrations

"a beautiful and perfect wedding day"

From the get go Laura the organiser was brilliant. We had such a beautiful and perfect wedding day starting at the Admiral Hardy for the ceremony and then The Oystercatcher for our wedding breakfast and party. Tom and Ollie especially were fabulous but the rest of the staff were so professional and courteous to us and all of our guests. We had many guests mention to us on the day just how lovely the staff were.

Also the views of the Thames were spectacular for photographs and the outside heated seating area were a hit for our guests. Thank you so much Oystercatcher for an unforgettable wedding day.

Wonderful Day

We knew we wanted different for our wedding, and what better way to celebrate than getting everyone you love together in a pub! We had eaten at The Oystercatcher many times, and it was one of our favourite spots, so an easy choice for our reception. From the initial conversation to the days following our Big Day, Laura and the team were nothing but attentive, helpful and so kind! The food was amazing and the service was second to none!! All of our guests commented on how brilliant the team were, and they truly felt like an extension of our day! I would definitely recommend The Oystercatcher for a perfect London wedding!
